#MarbleMarcherCommunityEdition is an improved fork of #MarbleMarcher.

Marble Marcher is a #game where you guide a marble to a goal as fast as possible. Each level is a 3D #fractal that is extremely detailed, being rendered by a ray marching algorithm that can render infinite structures in real time. Community Edition adds several features like new visual effects, a level editor, and a screenshot button.

It is hard to remember that a lot of high tech research went on well before the arrival of electronic computers, lasers, and all the other things that used to be amazing but are now commonplace. That’s why we enjoyed… https://hackaday.com/2020/05/08/measuring-the-speed-of-light-in-1927/

@Canageek Found something you might be interested in: http://www.vigyaancd.org/. It's a GNU/Linux distro for #biochemistry . It's a bit dated (runs on i486 and up), but worse case scenario you click the links and maybe find some #chemistry and #biology tools you didn't know about. Comes with EMBOSS and a crap ton of other tools. I haven't seen anything else like it. The distro ran just fine on QEMU other than getting Internet to work correctly, but that's mostly SSL's fault. #linux #research

Found this site today; lots of games written in BASIC and Extended BASIC for the TI-99/4A. Many have the visual appeal of a typical typed-from-magazine game, but *some* have some *really* spectacular graphics, considering the limitations of the VDP.

Just look at the start-up screen for Royal Game of Ur for example. WOW!
